Age, genes, sex, and smell: predicting Parkinson disease
Dr. Singleton's talk will focus on the most effective route to testing disease-modifying therapies in neurodegenerative disease earlier in the disease process, with a particular focus on Parkinson disease. He will discuss attempts to make headway in identifying at-risk patients as early as possible in the disease process, when interventions may be most effective.
A multiscale biology approach for dissecting the complex processes underlying aging and aging related phenotypes
The annual Mahoney Lecture is named in honor of Florence Stephenson Mahoney (1899–2002), who devoted the last half of her life to successfully advocating for the creation of the National Institute on Aging and increased support for NIH. During his lecture, Dr. Schadt will focus on the integration of the digital universe of information to better diagnose, treat, and prevent human disease. The lecture will feature the work of Dr.
Epigenetic regulation of senescence and aging
Aging is a crucial risk factor in a constellation of human diseases, including cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Along with other risk factors such as environmental exposures, diet, behavior, and heredity, these risks can be understood through their impact on the epigenetic landscape in ways that ultimately lead to the burden of disease. Among these risks, aging had been regarded as fixed, but current thinking holds that aging is plastic and its pace can be slowed or even reversed. Dr.
